Quinn Fabray pulled her car into the long driveway. She couldn't believe her ears when her mom had told her that the man she loved still lived in Lima. At first, she wasn't sure if she had the right house until she stepped on to the porch and there was a blue doormat with the words "Za'u mì". She knocked on the door and waited.

"Hold on I'm coming." Quinn heard a man's voice call. She steadied herself on the front porch of the stone two story house. All of her nerves were on end. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Quinn?" the voice said. She snapped her eyes opened and they landed on Sam Evans. His hair was brown now and cut short but his green eyes were still beautiful. His muscular body was showcased by a sweater and low rise jeans. He was still perfect.

"Hi Sam." Quinn said quietly with a smile.

"Uh, come in." Sam said allowing her inside the warm house. "Oh here let me take your coat." Sam said as she shrugged out of her wool Burberry trench coat.

"How are you, Sam?" She asked while he put her coat in the closet.

"Good. Great. How about yourself? I heard you graduated top of your class at Yale." Sam answered, leading her to the enormous living room.

"Yeah, my mom couldn't keep that to herself." Quinn giggled. "So this is a nice house."

"Thank you. Quinn, I don't mean to be rude, but what are you doing here?" Sam asked sitting on the coffee table in front of a seated Quinn.

"I came home for the holidays and I heard you live around here." Quinn answered.

"I only live here in the winter. I mean don't get me wrong, it's great to see you, and you look amazing, but you should have called first." Sam said. They both sat in silence. There was a ding in the kitchen. "I'll be back." Sam said headed off toward the kitchen.

"Sammy, We're home." Quinn heard a familiar voice call through the house. She rose from the sofa waiting to see her face. "Quinn!" she said, her voice genuinely happy to see the blonde's face.

"Hi Mercedes." Quinn said plastering a fake smile on her face. She was startled when two small children ran over to her and hugged her legs. "Hi."

"Will, Emma, that's your Aunt Quinn." Mercedes said smiling. Quinn almost collapsed.

"They have children." Quinn thought to herself. "How are you?" She asked kneeling down to the twin toddlers.

"Good." they said simultaneously. The tighter the twins hugged her the harder it got for Quinn to hold back the tears.

"Yeah, they never meet a stranger." Sam said picking up the kids. "Let's go get some cookies!" Sam said carrying them toward the kitchen.

"One Sam." Mercedes said walking toward Quinn. She embraced her old friend tightly. "Hey girl."

"Hi." Quinn said returning the hug. "You have a beautiful home, Mercedes and you're children are sweet."

"Thanks. What brings you here?"

"Oh, I'm just home for the holidays. I heard that, um, you guys lived in town so I thought I'd stop by."

"Oh. Well, it's really great to see you. Your mom told me about how great you did at Yale." Mercedes said.

"Yeah it was amazing." Quinn said. "How old are your kids?"

"Three. Two scoops of trouble." Mercedes joked as Sam carried the twins back into the living room. Quinn watched as Sam sat in an overstuffed chair with the twins. Emma wore a 60's style dress and a little cardigan and Will wore dark cords and a vest.

"Are you guys going to the New Directions reunion?" Quinn asked Mercedes pulling her attention away from Sam.

"Yeah. We're really excited about it." Mercedes answered. The phone rang and Mercedes excused herself and the twins ran after her.

"I think I should go now." Quinn said rising from the sofa. Sam rose and followed Quinn to the hallway.

"It was really nice seeing you, Quinn." Sam said helping her into her coat.

"You too Sam." Quinn said. She went weak in the knees when step toward her and hugged her. It took everything she had not to nuzzle his neck. She didn't want to let go, but she did when she felt him release her. "Tell Mercedes I said goodbye." She said as he opened the front door for her.

Quinn stepped out in the cold Lima winter air and she realized that after all this time, she still wasn't over Sam.
